Answer:

Both proportions are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given two proportions \frac{40}{8}=\frac{x}{10} and \frac{x}{40}=\frac{10}{8}. We are asked to find why the solutions to our given proportions are equal.

We can solve proportions by cross multiplying them.

After cross multiplying our both proportions we will get same equation that is:

40*10=8*x

400=8x

8*x=40*10

8x=400

Since we get same equation after cross multiplying both proportions, therefore, the solutions to the given proportions would be same.

What are the approximate values of the minimum and maximum points of
Katen [24]
To start off, you can divide the right side of the equation by x to get rid of most of the x's so you get the polynomial x^4 - 10x^2 + 9. This means that f(x) = x^4 - 10x^2 + 9x. By factoring the right side of the equation, you get f(x) = (x^2 - 1)(x^2 - 9). I think the minimum value is 1 and the maximum value is 3.

How do you write 3.806 million in standard form ?
Solnce55 [7]
3,806,000 is the correct answer.

There are three in the millions place and 806 in the thousands. There are no numbers in the hundreds so you place zeros.

IRINA_888 [86]

Five times the difference of a number n and forty two is ten more than twice the product of a number x and number y

  • Five times: 5 ×
  • difference of a number n and forty two: (n - 42)
  • is: =
  • twice the product of a number x and a number y: 2(xy)
  • ten more than: + 10

Rewrite the expression into an equation.

<h3>5(n - 42) = 2(xy) + 10</h3>
